How do I denote timestamp in Open API 3 specification

[smitit173]

I am trying to create a field that contains the timestamp. The data type is an integer since it is a timestamp but not sure whether we have any format that can be used distinctively to identify a timestamp in OAI 3.0.x

Currently I am denoting it as -

created_at: type: integer format: int64 minimum: 1

format is an open-valued keyword, so you can use any value you like, which is something of a blessing and a curse. I've seen examples such as:

format
timestamp
timestamp without time zone
timestamp with time zone
TIMESTAMP
unix timestamp to millisecond
Unix timestamp
timestamp ISO8601
unix timestamp
unix-time
unixtime
unix-epoch
Unix timestamp
unixtime list
unixMillis
epoch

Which is one of the reasons we started working on a format registry #845

thanks for the quick response :)

Can you give an example of a situation in which this would be a blessing?
